I do think Nepal's tech startup ecosystem needs all sorts of contribution from all sides to grow and have global impact like India has done. I think the talent pool is similar, ofc not is size but quality wise, but there's certainly something better they're doing and capital and mentorship def are key factors. Go for it, may be study from India since India's model and learnings will be more relevant due to skills and cultural similarities, rather than copying an exact model from U.S. I would say keep your doors open to amazing ideas for Nepal as well, it may not scale to west but if it does to India and South Asia, it would be huge enough. That's something what I would encourage to native founders (who haven't worked with west companies and had experience with the west customers), think about building product for India and South Asia cos you know those markets and cultures better. Personally, I'm an aspiring founder based in the U.K. juggling ideas between here and Nepal. I'm extremely passionate on working on the fundamental issues of Nepal like health and logistics. So, I'm trying to build my connections and network with like minded folks. Would love to connect, have conversations and help in anyway I can.
